Dried Longan Fruit (Long Yan Rou) | (100g)

About

Dried Longan Fruit (Long Yan Rou) is a firm favourite throughout Asia for being deliciously sweet and juicy - quite similar to grapes!

In southern Asia, Longan grows in abundance due to the tropical climate and sandy soil.

They are related to other exquisite stoned fruits such as lychees and rambutans - each having inedible shells which encase an indulgent sweet fruit.

Longan translates to 'dragon eyes', and was named this because the black stone is visible through the translucent fruit, resembling the eye of a dragon.
